Product Description

The EL6631-0000 is manufactured by Beckhoff as a 2-port communication interface suited for integrating Ethernet-based communication in automation systems. The terminal is suited for applications requiring PROFINET communication in automation systems. It features two switched channels that are ideal for connecting a range of field devices within PROFINET networks. The terminal delivers a maximum process data size of 1 kbyte for input and 1 kbyte for output. This capacity allows for the effective transmission of a significant amount of data between the device and the control system. The terminal features a 100BASE-TX Ethernet interface with two RJ45 ports. This setup enables efficient communication in EtherCAT and PROFINET networks.

The Beckhoff EL6631-0000 is suited for use with twisted pair cables, supporting lengths of up to 100 meters. This allows flexibility in network design, allowing for effective communication between the terminal and connected peripherals. The terminal offers a seamless user experience with hardware diagnostics status LEDs that help users keep track of the terminal’s performance. Quick adjustments to settings and functionality can be done as needed by configuring the terminal through an EtherCAT master. This enhances user convenience and efficiency, making the terminal ideal for applications that require flexible and dynamic control.

This terminal typically consumes 400 mA from the Ebus. This keeps the system’s power demands minimal without excessive power draw. It has an operating temperature range of 0 to +55°C, allowing it to function effectively in varying conditions. The device is also reliable in humid conditions, provided there is no exposure to condensation. The terminal is suited for wiring via a specific push-in connection, allowing for secure and efficient wiring without the need for additional tools.
